GL Wyandotte: Roo?

[BlueCamas]

That new pic doesn't really help much, we need a profile pic that shows us his/her back. At only 10 weeks that much development of the comb makes me think cockerel.

i swear this chicken is camera shy... i can't get her to hold still for a shot. she must know what's up! can anyone tell anything form these? thanks in advance!

If I had to put money I'd say roo. My SL girls had teeny combs and wattles until laying age. Also, in some of those pics the feathers near the tail are suspiciously pointy.

1000% cockerel

sorry!

Better pics needed before any determination on gender

My vote is Roo... here is a picture of mine the pullet is in the middle they are just over 4 months old

Yea, that's a cockerel...... the last pics you posted helped a lot.

Yep-100% agree!

Yep, that's a roo. You can really see the deep red coming in over the shoulders and wing bows plus it is developing saddle feathers.

Can some of you who know better please explain to me why this is a roo? The photo looks like hen coloring to me, but everyone seems to be saying boy. If it were a boy, wouldn't the red wing feathers be showing already? Or do GLW's have the lacing all throughout and then change later?

To me, it looks like a girl that's much older than 10 weeks. But I am new at this, and when I got my GLW roo, he was already 5 months old. thanks for the lesson, and to the OP, I hope it's a girl!
